EDC 102 School Data - 2011


Mt. Hope High School
Name of Student: Amanda Taylor


Use the sites discussed in class to (1) assemble information about your school and (2) write one or more paragraphs for each type of information that you find.You should be able to combine these paragraphs, along with an introduction and conclusion to create a free standing, coherent, evidence-based description of your school.

Be sure that each of your paragraphs includes:

• A strong topic sentence.
• An explanation of why the data you chose to cite relates to the subject you are addressing, e.g. you should state why you feel that the student/teacher ratio informs your judgement about the school's ability to provide high quality teaching. These sentences should be based on the definitions of some of these measures on the InfoWorks site, but can also include your own reasoning about the subject.
• Multiple pieces of specific data to support your claim. Each measure should include a comparison so tat the reader can judge whether the value is relatively high or low.
• Include the students' view of the school when possible.

Note: Tables are not provided because it is possible to just copy and paste the tables from the Infoworks site directly in this page!
